Why is Michael Jai White not in any of The Expendables ???

[Mr. Met]

http://expendables.wikia.com/wiki/Michael_Jai_White

Sylvester Stallone originally blogged about considering Jai White for the first Expendables sequels. Despite claiming that he tried to get White in on the act, White himself claimed that neither Stallone or his staff contacted him or White's agent to be in the film, which he would've gladly said yes to.

Agreed. Get Michael Jai White in there ... Marblemouth Sly is aiming for too much young blood viewership with the likes of Kellan Lutz, Victor Ortiz, and The Armbar Queen. Saw an article the other day ... and apparently Jackie Chan may be on board for Expendables 4.

[Mr. Met]

White should have been considered way before Terry.

White should have been considered way before Terry.

Terry is hilarious and is more of a draw.

despite being a big muscular guy terry crews isn't an action hero actor..he has no credits for that. They created that to have a black guy but white should have been there instead of crews.

when you thin of michael jai white you this this

when you think terry crews you think this

First off if this is supposed to be 80's action hero's then Carl Weathers should be the #1 goto guy for this series. Since we know he and Stallone had bad blood that wasnt gonna happen. After Weathers would be the next 80's/90's black action star Steve James....but he passed away. After THAT you should look at Snipes but he was away so they got him when he got out. Terry Crews should have NEVER been in any of these movies for the simple fact that he is not nor has ever been an action star!!! just some cheap negro they could throw in there. MJW is the next in line after Snipes and is the only name that comes to mind should they want to add some legitimacy to martial artists side of the expendibles....but its clear that Stallone doesnt want anyone overshadowing him...including Statham and Jet Li!

I'll wait as you name the movies Randy Couture has been in that would make him good for the expendables.

Don't hate on Crews just because BGOL's man crush Michael Jai White wasn't in it.

. Saw an article the other day ... and apparently Jackie Chan may be on board for Expendables 4.

hopefully Jackie's son will be able to see it if that happens..

Hong Kong (CNN) -- The 32-year-old son of actor and kung fu star Jackie Chan has been arrested in Beijing on drugs charges, as authorities clamp down on celebrity offenders.

Police say they detained Jaycee Chan, who is originally from Hong Kong and also an actor, as well as Kai Ko, a 23-year-old Taiwanese actor, during a raid on Thursday in Dongcheng district, the city's commercial and cultural center, state media, citing Beijing police, said Tuesday.

Both men tested positive for marijuana.

Police later found more than 100 grams of the drug after searching Chan's apartment. He was also accused of "hosting others to take drugs," the state-run China Daily said. He could face three years in jail under Chinese law.

State broadcaster CCTV aired footage of Chan, his face blurred, showing police where the drugs were hidden at his home, while Ko was shown making a tearful apology.

"I very much regret about what happened. I'm very sorry to those who support me, like me or even know me personally," he said. "I just want to tell them I'm really sorry. I've set the worst example, which had the most terrible influence. And this is a huge mistake."

The two actors are being seen as the targets of the capital's latest anti-drugs campaign, which has seen more than 7,000 people detained for using drugs, a 72% year-on-year increase, according to the China Daily.

Celebrities are increasingly in the spotlight, with a number of high-profile arrests over drug-related incidents in recent months, including popular movie actor Zhang Mo and singer Li Daimo, who was actually sentenced to nine months in jail for hosting a crystal meth party at his home, according to the China Daily.

Earlier this month, dozens of management agencies representing performers in the entertainment industry signed an agreement with Beijing authorities banning drug use from the industry and pledging to sack artists who break the law.

The elder Chan, who has starred in a number of Hollywood movies including "Rush Hour" and "The Karate Kid," has actually campaigned against drug use, and was named an anti-drugs ambassador in China in 2009.

MJW was not and has not been a star. White folks probably don't even know who he is. Crews has been getting apt of work. There is no pecking order in Hollywood for who should get what role.

Yeah - read about that recently. Watched Expendables 3 with pops last week, as we had checked out the previous films too (BGOL dvd rental / big screen - free tix). Mentioned Jackie Chan might be in the next one ... and pops started laughing and said - "They are gonna milk the Expendables franchise for ages ... Hollywood always runs these shits into the ground."

 

[Iron Man]

Height maybe the issue, White is mad small in size even for Hollywood standards so it my be hard to match him in size with other actors for filming But Snipes is short as well maybe not as short as White.

Walked by him in Manhattan once. Dude is maybe 6-6'1.

Remember Mr. T was like 5'11.

 

[Swizz Heat]

Wanna know what is sad ....... I have a strong feeling that the Rock will be in one soon. And you know what ..... it makes sense. The Rock would pull in viewers and money compared to Michael Jai White.

White is taller than everybody in the Expendables except Ahnold.

he dwarfs Stallone's PETITE ass.

Cast:

• Scott Adkins as Hector:Vilain's right-hand man. Adkins was offered a role in the original film, but turned it down for Undisputed III: Redemption.

 

[LSN]

right...victor ortiz?

 

[jimmiewine]

If I'm correct, Crews was a replacement for 50 Cent. I do agree that Weathers should've been in this.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

He's a mesican

 

[ViCiouS]

MJW should be in there, but what about these guys?:

at least cameos or something:
Eastwood
Jean Reno
Burt Reynolds
Brendan Fraizer
Kurt Russell
Jackie Chan
Chow Yun Fat
Carl Weathers
Liam Neeson
Beat Takeshi
